Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Week 8 was not kind to fantasy owners or my picks.

Week 9 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It's not too late. Week 8 is in the books and for most leagues that means that we are half way through the season. By no means is it too late to turn a season around and with the myriad of injuries this past week, the waiver wire is just the place to do it. […]

The Daily Divide: Week Eight DFS Picks

Daily Divide: Week Eight Matt and Nathan each offer Week 8 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Nathan probably makes more good points than Matt though, over the long […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 8: The Early Games

It’s starting to become money time in fantasy land – the time for mistakes has passed. If you’re locked in a race for the playoffs right now, the last thing you need is to leave points on the bench or place faith in a guy who is destined to put up a dud. While it’s […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 7: The Early Games

As we approach the halfway mark of the fantasy football season, it's a great time to think about how unpredictable this year has been. Just think of people who drafted Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson, Alfred Morris, Melvin Gordon, Mike Evans, Eddie Lacy or Jimmy Graham with one of their first four picks. How about people […]

The Daily Divide: Week Seven DFS Lineup Picks

Daily Divide: Week Seven Matt and Nathan each offer Week 7 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted.

Week 7 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. Week 7 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that start at 1 PM Eastern Time, so don't be shocked to not see names from Buffalo-Jacksonville listed. Week 7 has a decent amount of mid-level plays that are all in contention for being rather […]

Todd Gurley with Another Solid Performance vs Packers

St. Louis Rams RB Todd Gurley had 30 carries for 159 yards in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers.  Gurley looked sharp in just his second career start, averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Gurley received 30 carries, proving that his knee is back at full strength and able to carry a heavy workload from […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

One rule I live by hard and fast in fantasy football is to never make any judgments about my team or any players before the first four weeks of the season. Especially now, with abbreviated practices and training camps, the first four weeks are often an extension of the preseason. But with Week 4 officially […]

Kenny Britt Misses Practice on Friday for Rams

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Kenny Britt missed practice on Friday with a swollen knee. Despite missing practice, the team lists him as probable for the Rams' Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Britt has had a very inconsistent season thus far. He caught just two balls in each of the Rams' first […]

Expect a Blowout Win From the Green Bay Packers on Sunday

Despite the loss of stud wide receiver Jordy Nelson, the Green Bay Packers are sitting pretty atop the NFC North win an unblemished 4-0 record. The Pack have looked marvelous in almost every facet of the game so far, and look for that to continue when they host the St. Louis Rams in Week 5. […]

Ram Down: LB Alec Ogletree Out for the Long Haul

This season has been an up-and-down affair for Rams’ fans. From threats of moving the team to Los Angeles to beating the Seattle Seahawks on opening day, they’ve seen more than their fair share of drama. Today, continuing along with same undulating trend of emotional highs and lows, anyone and everyone involved with the Midwest […]

Tavon Austin Is A Sneaky Waiver Wire Add

Another week, another Rams WR leads the passing game. Tavon Austin was excellent at Arizona, catching six balls for 96 yards and two scores while leading all WR in Week 4. He seven targets were enough to lead the team as the Rams only chucked the ball 24 times. The Todd Gurley Show was the […]

Week 5 Deeper Sleepers: Buying the Browns?

Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. A couple picks put up solid performances (Ryan Fitzpatrick, Falcons D) while Ty Montgomery stunk the bed. Can't hit 'em all. Week 4 was a great week for DFS players, with Josh McCown, Tavon Austin, and Allen […]

Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (FAAB Bid: $3 - 5) OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nick Foles turned a lot of people off in a stinker against the bum Steelers' secondary in Week 3, only to turn around a lead the Rams to a victory over the previously undefeated Cardinals. The Cardinals have a […]

Tavon Austin (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to pretend that Tavon Austin deserves to be rostered but he should be considered. With the lacking amount of real talent on the Rams receiving squad, Tavon Austin stands out as the most obviously "talented" of the group. Essentially the argument for […]

Todd Gurley Explodes: RB1 Going Forward?

After sitting out the first two weeks, Todd Gurley burst on the scene this week versus the Arizona Cardinals. Gurley totaled 146 yards rushing (an awesome 7.7 yards per carry) and two catches for 15 yards. Coming into this season there were questions about how Gurley would respond to the brutal knee injury he sustained in college. […]

Todd Gurley Flexes Muscle As Rams Upset Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals were coming into Week 4 off of a brutalizing of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, while the St. Louis Rams had pretty much offensively rolled over to a Pittsburgh Steelers team that lost Ben Roethlisberger. After everything was said and done in Arizona, the Rams were celebrating a 24-22 upset […]

Todd Gurley to See More Playing Time

St. Louis Rams rookie running back Todd Gurley should see more playing time going forward, according to head coach Jeff Fisher. Last week was Gurley's NFL debut, but he only played 14 snaps in the team's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even with Fisher stating that Gurley should see more playing time, he is not […]

Brian Quick Finally Ready to See Some Playing Time

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Brian Quick will finally see some playing time after suffering a torn rotator cuff last season. Although Quick was said to be healthy to open the regular season, coach Jeff Fisher hasn't let him see the field up to this point. That, however, is all about to change on Sunday […]

Kenny Britt's Week 4 Status Up in the Air

St. Louis Rams wide receiver Kenny Britt hasn't been practicing due to a shoulder injury he apparently suffered against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. His week 4 status is now up in the air. He banged his shoulder a little bit in the (Pittsburgh) game," coach Jeff Fisher told STLToday.com. Britt has been flying under […]

Kenny Britt (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you go on WebMD and search for "migraine symptoms" you'll find Kenny Britt as the fourth-leading factor. A head-case on and off the field, Britt came through for owners willing to roll the dice in week 3 versus a putrid Steelers defense […]

Week 4 Tight End Waiver Wire for Fantasy Football

  Charles Clay 16% Owned In his first season in Buffalo, Clay looks like he’s been there for all five years of his career. This past week in Miami, Clay juked his way past three of his former teammates for a 25 yard score en route to five receptions for 82 yards. This was Clay’s best […]

Rams Rookie Todd Gurley to Make NFL debut

According to Chris Mortensen, Todd Gurley will make his NFL debut today at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gurley is a high-risk/high-reward fantasy option for this week as it is unclear how many snaps he will play. With Gurley healthy, it is safe to drop Benny Cunningham in fantasy leagues. The debut of Gurley is […]

Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Week 3 DFS Lineup Sleepers

You might think I'm being lazy, but I'm going back to this guy and this might read very similarly to my Week 1 write-up. Jared Cook is still the team leader in receptions and yards. While I thought a matchup with the Redskins would grant him great chances to put a serviceable line, he wasn't […]

Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Week 3 Deeper Lineup Sleepers

I don't enjoy writing that name next to the Rams offense, but the truth of the matter is that Foles and company get to face the crummy Steelers' defense. This game is going to go one of two ways. Either the Steelers jump out to an early lead on the heels of a strong passing […]

Week 3 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

We're back in the mines for Week 3! Last week we actually hit on a lot more DraftKings lineup picks than I would expect for deeper sleeper plays, with Crockett Gillmore being the best find. Weeks 1 and 2 have come and gone, and now we've got two data points really weighing on everyone's mind. […]
